Default RE: Replacing old cat

hey ram rush does that cat come with the y pipe or do you have to cut out the old cat and use the stock y pipe, my cat is also bad and im going to do the exhaust from the y pipe back but the stealership wants 300 for the y pipe and cat. if the one from magnaflow comes with the y piep thats a steal , only half what the stealership wants

Default RE: Replacing old cat

I was told today I need to find a replacement cat that has dual 2" in and a single 2.5" out. The shop said they could only find ones for $500+. He said I need to make sure its VIN Z and Quad cab. Could someone point me to a website/ebay with this one in stock? He was telling me it needs to come with the two pipes coming in, but can't they just cut the old one out and weld the new one in?

Anything you get will have to be welded in so the biggest thing to ensure is dual inlet, o2 sensor in same place.

I just bought this one off ebay and it fit perfect.

Ebay Best Offer! Item number: 130009722722

I have a 99 4x4 Club Cab. w 5.9

That auction says dual 2" in and single 2.25" out, is that exactly what you have or do you have single 2.5" out like I do? Would it be possible to purchase one with a 2.25" out instead of a 2.5" out and still make it fit?

Dude, I posted you a link to the perfect pipe, the 1 i just got is the exact cat you need.

Crawl under your truck you'll see your cat is welded in too.

Mine was dual 2" in and single 2.5" out.

It fits perfect.

I don't have to crawl under it. I put it in last week in my driveway and didn't weld anything.

The link you posted of the auction says its 2.25" out, yet you have 2.5" out like me, so there was no problems cutting the old one out and putting the new one in?
